@TheTaleofTheIronSnail
What is the warmest winter jacket? Canada Goose. Really? Well, not really...I guess. However, there is no arguing that Canada Goose makes some of the best winter jackets in the entire world. Patagonia, North Face, Arc'teryx are of course all up there and all make amazing products -- but there is still some special sauce by Canada Goose that no one has copied. So today...we shall be taking a gander at the warmest down jacket in the world. The Snow Mantra.
Maybe one day we'll review the Expedition, the Resolute, etc.
*I guess you could say it's the warmest...but you could easily argue that it's not.
Bye.
Can I interest you in a hot bowl of following ME and The Snail in other places??

The Iron Snail is a men’s fashion vlog starring a young man named Michael and featuring a snail no bigger than a quarter. The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jackets to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered. (written by Taylor, though Michael is sometimes known to talk about himself in the third person… xoxo)

*I promise I'll do another video on a lot of your suggestions but all of these jackets are like $2,000 so I need to wait a little bit 😅*
Also I cut out a large section about why CG uses a lower fill down but a LOT of it, why they don't use a waterproof membrane, etc. and I'm realizing maybe I cut too much out of this vid! It's always a balance between time and info and I think I sliced too much -- okay BYE!
*EDIT: I just reached out to all of these brands, hopefully they'll want to collab!*
Well, why is that they don't use a waterproof membrane?
It does not rain in Antarcica. Too cold. @@hunk9891
What jeans have you been wearing lately. I just got some kikko sashiko pants from N&F this week and I went a size down cause I generally size up to 32" but these also have 2% stretch so I can even do a 30 if I wanted to feel uncomfortable after eating. But this fabric is so dang comfortable. I may get them hemmed to my inseam tho. I don't really want to keep cuffing them. They look amazing un cuffed
@@hunk9891 my speculation would be that membranes will always de-laminate after a couple years especially of hard use. once you get into weather where everything is continuously frozen, i imagine water would be less of an issue especially whit some basic dwr.
“…and the people can’t find you by the money falling out of your pocket.” 😂 I laughed so hard. Thanks for being awesome.
These coats are built to last with super strength materials, built for people who WORK for a living outdoors. They make perfect sense in the Arctic, or Antartica, or Buffalo for a Bills game!
Couldn't agree more! Built like tanks!
They are used by people who work for a living in very select occupations in very select environments for a huge amount of people who work in cold environments across the world. They are totally useless because they have very poor water resistance and coats pretty much the same in terms of keeping you warm, whilst being expensive don’t cost as much. You have to wonder what people think that folk in Sweden norway Russia has been wearing all these years. parts of Japan have harsh winters.
So glad now the season is over and the Bills just announced their move to New Mexico!
But it’s not FR. which limits what kinda work your doing.
Bills mafia bruh, we out here
Ok, an anecdote. These jackets were extremely popular in Sweden in the late 1990s early 2000s and so many of them were sold that rumor has it that someone in the owner's family flew over to Sweden to see how they were used in our wintry climate. It turned out that only the richest young people who went to the clubs in central Stockholm bought these jackets. So you can say that maybe they weren't used the way they intended.
Yep. It's like wearing adidas tracksuits - but in reverse. Still means you're a douche tho.
@@supervivet911what about an adidas tracksuit while wearing a Canada goose
@@O161n I'm sure someone's done it.
They are still extremely popular, but only the immigrants wear them.
Any updates on what the owner said in response to his "tools" being used as fashion accessories?
I have this jacket and use it everyday at work in Alaska during the winter. This morning it is -52.
Coyote fur also doesn't freeze when wet - that is the main reason why it is/was used. Not just for looks. You should have just come to Winnipeg to test this instead of NY where you don't even have snow haha ;) - we are sometimes colder than Antartica - and Even Mars. It's true. Look it up.
Except for this winter so far! But it seems like winter is finally here this morning.
I NEED to visit, always wanted to fly somewhere to test a jacket for a vid!
I recently bought an OSC MIssion Parka and it's quite something, I have zero need for a coat rated to -60c (who really does) but it's a proper statement piece and surprisingly usable in normal winter weather.
Also have a look at the PHD Omega jacket, that one goes to -55c, is equipped with 900 fill power down and is fully waterproof. Another two worth a look are the 'Feathered Friends Rock and Ice' and 'Valandre Bering'.
Really happy to see phd mentioned, the definitely make the warmest jacket. You can also get it with 1000 fill power
PHD also has the suit version which was developed for the first K2 winter ascent in 2021
Love my Canada Goose Langfield parka. Super warm with just a T shirt not too heavy or bulky Fur is super good for wind. Perfect
TY FOR WATCHING! See you all next week!!
Next week, like Monday, right?
I wish companies didnt pivot to luxury branding. These were half the price ten years ago and mere mortals could afford them. Same with Arc'teryx. No way am i spending 2k on a parka or 1k on a hardshell.
I saw the alternatives and was like "not enough pockets." Engineers know what that jacket is for lol
spent many days in this coat walking to work in -45 to -55 in Nunavut Canada. feels like you're waling with a house around you.
Michael is having too much fun with these vids 😂 Gotta love it!!
Love your videos, keep them coming!! Thank you and happy new year!
Bought my Canada Goose Heli-Arctic Jacket in 1998 for $480. Bullet proof build quality and still going strong in 2024. Will last me another 30 years.
now that's amazing!
That was the perfect time to get one. The price was reasonable.
I enjoyed that your dance moves were sweet in the jacket 😎. Loved it as always!
I worked in Antarctica (McMurdo) for a short time in the 2000s. My big red coat was great, I only started to feel slight chills at -30C or lower driving a skidoo into a headwind. Underneath I had thermals, waterproof wind pants/bib, and a fleece. Bunny boots on feet. Back home I have a North Face McMurdo, which I bought a while back for what seems now like good value. Way too warm for most trips out. As a result, I hardly wear it now 😂😂😂😂
I used one of these for, I don't know, it must have been something like 7 years, it wasn't this exact model (looked the same but with a couple less pocket on the inside and without transparent pocket and reflective stripes) but it was definitely well made! But I think they are a little overrated, especially now that competitors have upped their game. I replaced it with another parka from Canadiens, much cheaper (even if still pretty expensive), but it feels as well made, and also the outside fabric is more plyable while still feeling as resistant.
I would wear it in 45° F. ❤❤❤
I love heavy jackets. My favorite is my heavy weight LL Bean parka that has the same outer shell and some of the great features of the jacket you are featuring. It also has synthetic fur around the hood.
I have a north face trans Antarctica expedition parka - it’s big, puffy, bright orange & teal, matches my dog’s frisbee, is incredibly warm, and is my favorite jacket
I have the farmed out Canada Goose coat as in not made in Canada. I actually have two parkas. Been in - temps with windchills - 65 F and it perfectly warm. I don't wear it till it's below zero. They do not have the coyote fur rimmed hood but my Anarack does. The Canada Goose give an inside warm air pocket but also blocks the wind.
Yeah they are nuts!
Good thing I watched “Society of the Snow” yesterday, now I know what jacket to wear in case I ever survive an Antarctic plane crash
Love the vids Michael, happy new year!
Happy new year!
Bought mines 20 years ago as I was prone for stopping off for a restorative nap walking home from the pub in Scotland when I couldn’t get a taxi . Pre luxury switch when yo could only get them from artic expedition supplier in UK. Still here alive with the jacket but no longer drunken napping in snow drifts of a winter weekend but great fer the Fitba…. Watching not playing
In a sense it's just like firefighter bunker gear. It's not purchased by civilians and it's meant to last a (relatively) long time.
They don't use the latest and greatest technology but it works and it has features noone outside the fire service would understand.
What a brilliantly made video
My warmest parka is an Eddie Bauer Peak XIV rated to -30 F. Sucker is WARM! I made only one upgrade. I opened the top of the insulated zipper guard (had only thin synthetic insulation) and filled it with DWR treated 850 fill goose down.
I lived in Nunavut (Canadian Arctic) for 2 years and this was my parka of choice. Toasty!
Woah -- COOL!!
"Ooh DAMN!! 😆😂😂 This dude again!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't go into those extreme cold environments, so that is quite an expensive jacket for most people to afford. Two winter jackets I own that have a much more reasonable price and perform well, is Utex Down Jacket with built in fleece lined hood and heavy duty outer shell (not sure if Utex are still made, but it is so good I would buy it used if I needed to replace it), I only wear a few times a year, when it is the most extreme cold temperature below 15 degrees Farenheit and high winds. And the Columbia Whirlibird IV Interchange Jacket (the inner down layer has silver reflective lining) and a waterproof shell. For both of those jackets I paid less then $200 each.
2:50 watch as Michael elegantly lifts up his jacket as to make sure he keep the remnants of the dirty old tree off of it. Taking notes...
Michael I'm gonna miss you from the T&H channel but I fully understand because TIS is taking off!
Love your videos mate.
thanks my friend!
I like the sweater your wearing in this is it a waffle knit ? and what is the brand called please. @@TheIronSnail
@@jayjay66111it's a waffle knit & it's an LL Bean rollback sweater!
@@TheIronSnail Thanks for the reply I'll check them out, keep up the great content i really enjoy them.
I gotta say, Canada Goose jackets are legit, as far as keeping you warm.
We had a period of consecutive days of roughly -50 degrees celsius here in Canada, and my Parka was a life saver.
That said, the styles, especially for the warmer jackets, are very "old men and women". But they've been putting out much better designs lately.
This model is not made like the retail stuff ! But given the chance I would wear a "PHD" bespoke coat . The level of possibilities when ordering from PHD is unreal.... they will make what ever you want and it will be the best . strongest coat you will need for what ever requirements you want
oOooh so cool -- never heard of them before!
PHD definate makes the warmest jacket for sale.
My Fjällräven Expedition Down Parka No1 have more Down, with higher fillpower. I love it, we had -30 to -36 C for a whole week a while ago, and I still were outdoor everyday
I had one for fifteen years. Best coat ever.
Their Wyndham parka is not even sold in the US anymore unless you get it from their generations line or a gently used option. And, could you do a review on a bison coat, its sold on etsy.
I'm a techwear fan i guess.. I am a gear nerd mostly for hiking and alpine gear, but I think your videos are interesting because they approach the same topic from more of a men's fashion angle.
Coyote fur is used because it does not freeze around your face when your breath hits it.
I had an N2B from the 80s. Warmest jacket I've had, but so stiff I hardly ever wore it and ended up selling it on Ebay, LOL.
I had one too -- literally TOO warm for anything!
The woolrich jacket looks great, did you have it altered at all? I have what I think is the smallest sized one, but it doesn't have a great silhouette.
Back at it with another banger
TY TY!
No TY! Always love your videos
TY!
I have a men's medium, and yup their the warmest. Trouble is, I take an xl, not m.
Got my Expedition Parka 15 years ago and its still in very good condition. Saved me from buying another winter jacket again every year.
Nowadays they cost twice as much... mine was definitely worth it already
Well i live in french alps and i can drop to -20°c and this jacket is my best purchase in my life your are warm and comfy
do a reciew on the new thursday boots waxed canvas jacket! only thing missing from your other waxed canvas jacket videos!
Depends if mint mobile has service in Antarctica & if I could cut the flares. Either way I’ll let you know when we get there. Cheers!
7:26 May also be used to drag someone who is injured. Same reason plate carriers have handles.
I was torn between Canada Goose and the Feathered Friends Rock & Ice, went with the FF in the end as a previously owned CG (about 25 years ago) never draped very well and would pump cold air between the parka and me. Granted I probably had a size too big at the time, but even everything cinched down still didn’t seal me in.
The Feathered friends one uses a much higher fill power but is definitely not as warm. It is much lighter in weight though, which is the point since it is made for climbing, which is why they use a higher fill power down. To get the highest warmth to weight ration.
I didn’t specify which CG parka I was referring to, so how would you know it was warmer than the FF? What tells you that the CG is warmer? I owned the Expedition which had a fill power of 650. I feel the FF is warmer because it drapes better (also has 900 fill power), eliminating the cold spots that CG parkas can be subject to because of the rigid materials used in their construction.@@AlexanderMason1
What is the red flannel you are wearing
I live in the arctic….I wear a cloth blue jays jacket that is maybe a third of an inch thick…if its -50 Ill incorporate a sweater
I never knew you had this channel..
Please take a look at the MegaWarm jacket! It was made by a researchers and claims to be the warmest jacket (according to some metric).
!!! EMAILING THEM NOW
Actually the feathered friends rock and ice parka is far warmer! Canada Goose supplied scientists with their coats so hence the popularity
Take a look at the Eddie Bauer Peak XV jacket. Buckets of 800 down fill and I-beam baffles. Insanely warm.
I really think that's the best deal in extreme warm down jackets!
I wore the Eddie Bauer Peak XV this morning while shoveling snow in zero windchills. Super warm and comfy. My Canada Goose Expedition was hanging in the closet. I guess that says something. Looking forward to your follow-up.
At the correct pressure water will boil at my rooms temp. My room must be an extreme environment. LOL
I bought a Wyndham Parka and Crofton vest this past year. I love CG's parkas but they are overkill for where I live (Southern US)
Overkill for me too -- especially this year!
Wyndham was really well cut compared to the expedition ones. If I had to get a CG I'd get that one too.
I imagine a belaying jacket would require a hardshell too to prevent rips and tears.
I got the Marmot Goretex Warmcube Golden Mantle and it's probably as warm as an expedition. And it's around 270 in outlet colors.
@@TheIronSnailidkkk I was very happy to have my parka and be completely content outside even in 35 degrees instead of being a little uncomfortable in anything else i have
Any idea when there will be a restock on the mammoth wool jacket?
Michael looks more and more like Wolverine every day. also could you please do a video on cargo pants?
that jacket is Canada Goose x Momotaro with the white stripes on the jacket
I prefer Moncler over Canada goose bc it’s more stylish and I don’t live in negative weather it’s normally like 2 degrees or a little lower. I’ll probably pick up a CG eventually
I like what I like, and want what I want....Not one, but two CG parkas. One for everyday winter wear: Maitland. The second for colder days, the Expedition.
Don’t wear Canada goose here in London UK. You’ll be held at knifepoint and the coat stolen from your back! It’s absolutely crazy. 😢
Also British and many foreign consumers are expected to pay almost twice the US/Canadian price. Pre-pandemic it was actually cheaper to order your coat in the US, buy a plane ticket (seat) on a commercial airline for your coat, and fly it over - and you'd still save a chunk of money.
Wow -- I had no idea!
@@TheIronSnail It’s sad but true. Alongside watches and phones, it’s this seasons must have for the scumbags!
@@andypemberton5989 Welcome to London eh!
Diversity is our strength!
When you think of expensive $1000+ jackets you usually think of either Canada Goose or Monclear. Both of which are now seen as a status symbol more than anything else. I'd rather save some money and just by a Polo Ralph Lauren or Barbour jacket instead. I have a Barbour Chelsea Regular-Fit Waterproof Jacket and quality seems pretty decent. There are more than enough pockets to fit a smartphone and other things.
The North Face - Summit Series - Himalayan Parka is warmer. Made for climbing and the warmest jacket ever! Had em' all but nothing beats the 2014 edition of that North Face.
Many experts say that jacket must be 3-4 pounds to be in the warmest category . You own Canada Goose ( or something similar , very heavy , with down ) ? And summit elite alpine stuff ? Is it durable ? It would be such a pity destroy it , outer fabric seem fragile . Probably they use construction without stiching baffles etc , they fuse it with modern tech system so no cold spots .
it makes perfect sense , it's made for elite alpinists , and up on Himalayas temperatures are like on parts of south pole ( not the coldest part thou )
I bought it and... it's wonderful... not hot, not cold, perfect temperature !!! amazing technology... strangely it exists only in a big size... but who cares, it's so confortable.. even too big for me.
Please review the Jökla jacket by 66°North.
Coyote fur is the best cold weather protection you can get for your face and lungs. The coyote lined hood acts as a prewarming area for the air that you bring into your lungs. This is critical under sub zero conditions. You can buy coyote fur on the internet.
Can you look at a Shackleton jacket some time? Plz
This is the coolest channel
people from the north "its a bit chilly out"
It’s currently -31 C (-43 with windchill) where I live. I’d wear that parka.
I spent one summer driving Ivan the Terra Bus in Antarctica. The scientists in their big reds would demand I turn the heat off.
Inuit fur coats have got to be the warmest !
I have a 15 year old expedition parka . I can wear it with a tshirt in 20 below weather and be warm.
Cool watch. Is it new? Will you be talking about it on your back up channel, Theo and Harris?
Lol, yes!! I've mentioned it really briefly once before, CW&T Solid State! Prob the weirdest least helpful watch in the world but it's gorgeous
@@TheIronSnail I’ll look forward to your return lol
.... wait a minute, you're that watch guy from the other channel ! 🤣
oh as a canadian, I can definitely say my Canada Goose Jacket is use as it is intended, -40 weather with blizzard, only this one would stand the test of time
Bullshit. Layering is still the best option out there. Canada goose is good if you plan to loiter around or go for a ride in a snowmobile, even then a insulated overall is better. As soon as you do any kind of activity in that you sweat like a pig. There really is no argument for super insulated expensive jacket other than brand pride and feelings created by marketing. I don't even own a winter jacket, only a wool jacket and i experience -40c every winter.
*Honey, TheIronSnail has a new vid out*
Also my Wyndham’s two way zipper does that too. Highly annoying when it’s cold.
dude makes great vids
TY!
I own a Canada Goose Wyndham Jacket but it's made of 90% Duck Down and 10% Feather (no idea which bird though) and of course the infamous Coyote Trim Fur. So makes me wonder who its Canada Goose and not Canada Duck.
Easy, go to Yakutsk and test it there 🤙
Love my canada goose wyndham
Rab Batura jacket for me in cold environments.
I wouldn't walk around in the woods in those other down jackets. you'd probably spring a leak and lose most of your fluff
good video, but heres a pedantic comment: my current iphone has sattelite connection, so as long as i can keep it warm enough i'd go with the iphone
imagine using this in a country with an average heat index of 40 degrees celsius
You say it’s bulletproof!? You should’ve led with that!
I mean, how can't you love thick big jackets
What about Lifelabs MegaWarm jacket with a CLO rating of 9.25, claimed as the warmest jacket on Earth. Can you do a video on that?
Semi related - what is the red plaid jacket you wore for part of the video?
Woolrich hunt coat
Woolrich from the 1940's!
Expensive for what they are
And funny enough being worn in NYC lol I don’t get why… it’s not even that cold 😭
@theironsnail would the Dehen n1 deck jack compete in the same conditions?
Sadly it would not! It's amazingly warm but I think people that go the fur and not down route usually use two layers of fur one facing out and one facing in + head protection!
Went into the Canada goose store last month and to see how bad the quality is! The stitching between the letters on the Canada goose badge is so cheap (the letters are linked and not individually stitched), you’d expect that from a really cheap brand not a brand where you’re spending over £2000
What’s the jacket with the deer on the arm? Cool coat
Woolrich Hunting jacket from the 1940's! The patch is from 1979 which is so cool
Doesn’t the U.S. Coast Guard also wear them on their Arctic and Antarctic missions?
Decathlon have an awesome arctic forclaz 900 pro coat. 350 euros, heavy rugged warm as f..k , goose down, technical , really really good for the price.check it out .😊
Now do glove's and boots 👍🏻😎
Classic Yukon jacket. I’ve also seen aboriginal made jackets that are just as warm if not warmer, just less less features but more beautiful
Oh cooooool I'd love to see them
Gotta love how people seem to have no problem generally with shearling or leather in general, but *COYOTE* FUR? Now that's *TOO* far!
Big inside pocket for big gloves and hat
How much did that coat cost you
